How many left website - can we help ?

[Pymmie]

Had a quick look at the Jensen section of ‘How many left’

A few things jumped out at me.

The section ‘Jensen missing’ is obviously all the cars made before 1966.

The engine sizes are obviously incorrect or wrongly written on a V5.

I know the problems DVLA must have collecting the info as my Mk3 Interceptor always

shows as a CV8 on the MOT.

I wonder if approached by the club we could assist the DVLA and correct a few errors?

You can register with the DVLA to access summary data for MOT's from the past 15 years, being a bit of a geek I couldn't resist it reveals there's 106 different models for JENSEN in their database

It would appear the word Interceptor is a particularly hard one to spell (numbers in brackets are how many have had at least one MOT in the past 15 years):

INTERCEPTOR (592)
INTERCEPTOT (1)
INTERSEPTER MK 1 (1)
INTRCEPTOR (1)
INTCERCEPTOR (1)
INTER (1)
INTERC EPTOR (1)
INTERSEPTER SP (1)
INTERCEPTOR V8 (1)

There's also a lot of confusion about how to record different marks, here's a selection of MK3's:

INTERCEPTOR III (261)
INTERCEPTOR 3 (28)
Interceptor MK 111 (2)
INTERCEPTOR MK3 (2)
INTERCEPTOR MKIII (1)
INTERCEPTOR-111 (1)
INTERCEPTOR111AUTO (1)
INTERCEPTER3 (1)

There's even 57 cars registered with the Make 'Jenson'


There's definitely a lot of "noise" in the DVLA data and it would be nice to clear it up... I guess the question is how could we go about helping? The only way I can think of is to get the individual who owns the car could to request the mistake be corrected:
